Pretty much boils down to the whole “mystic” some of the more casual players seem to have formed around raiding. About how the whole game is centered around it and how everything is easy for us and how apparently all we do is sit in front of the game 80 hours a week etc.
We’re far beyond the realm of reason at that point.
As Spock said, the needs of the many (casuals) outweigh the needs of the few (mythic raiders). It is only logical if you want to make more money.
We tried to warn you, but no, we’re just “doomsaying.”
What was the warning? “Hey guys you dont get a fee set of gear(that bypasses normal raiding) when you log in, you have to play the game to get it”
What a shocker.
That the patch is generally a content barren letdown? That you’re going to do the exact same things you did in 9.0 in 9.1? That Korthia is no mechagon, and certainly no timeless isle?
But… that is exactly what some casuals enjoy doing. Though the “all day, every day” is quite dramatic.
Raid, dungeon, challenging solo content(torgash) and a new questing/daily zone. We wont get more content than that on a single patch.
Torghast isn’t challenging.
If your standards are low from not playing pre-wod, I guess.
I honestly quit going to Korthia as of yesterday.
No rares were spawning.
When rares did spawn, all I received was freaking 1 stygia. Crap like that ain’t worth my time.
I don’t have the time to run around like an idiot fighting for chests, so no ty.
Not even 2 days since release, and it’s already a dead zone.
That is the reality of current WoW, this is actually more content than we got in 7.1 or 8.1 we only got the raid and a dungeon on those.(and a small questiline).
I dont mind it, but if this is not good enough for you it won’t really get any better
literally no comment…except maybe yeah…lots of low standards, lol
Korthia is more for people who are rerolling fotm. everyone else will be on their main to kill stuff faster. by the time real alts hit Korthia they will need another catch up system in place.
I can see that, so I’m definitely not invalidating it.
But, just on a personal note, I kind of like it because it hits that sweet spot for me. That is, it has me do just enough things for it not to feel like a grind. But, not too little for it to feel like I have nothing to do.
Ask me again in 2 months though 
I agree. It has more substance to it than a single quest that takes 20 minutes a week…but it’s also doable while just playing the game like I normally would.
Man idk why y’all always speculating this and that. You won’t enjoy everything in an mmo so why bother
The wow player base is so cringey when talking about gear. “earn your gear.” It’s a video game. No one is going to do anything that’s not fun. It doesn’t matter if korthia gave ilvl 300 gear, why the hell would someone torture themselves by grinding that trash content out for 6 months. Regardless of anyone’s eltitism, the current reward system is not logically going to make players want to play the game. They literally just went through this mistake with anima, and yet here we are again, a bunch of dotes defending blizzard with the oldest dumb excuse in the book “it’s an mmo.” I’m not sure if any of you actually play mmos besides for wow, but one of the most critical aspects of grinding is that it feels rewarding. Infinite grind games have died out for a reason.
Yup, the patch has been live for 2 days and you don’t have all 233 gear yet. You’re correct, this isn’t meant for casuals.
I started reading that and thought I was having a stroke.
As of right now, i dont think my little ilvl 165 can handle Korthia. I have a lot of catching up to do before ill go back there.
Yes, i visited it once so far and ill just say that my first attempt wasnt very productive. 
And yet they’re playing it.
